Powering Performance

The 2018 AIAG Quality Summit is nearly here!

Following a brief “welcome” speech from AIAG’s director of quality products and services, Scott Gray, this year’s event will kick off with an industry keynote presentation by Christoph Hagedorn, senior vice president, head of Corporate Quality and Environment at Continental Corporation.

October will be here before we know it – and while we’re excited for pumpkins, cider mills, and trick-or-treating, we’re also looking forward to October trainings! Available throughout the month, these classroom courses address IATF 16949:2016, MMOG/LE, IMDS, the Core Tools, and much more! Read on for a full list of October trainings available at AIAG, or use our Training Calendar to look at a different day or week. 

Are you contemplating attending the 2018 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference on September 26-27, but you’re not sure why it is important and how you can benefit?

AIAG is celebrating its 36^th anniversary, and to thank our members for their partnership and participation, we’re throwing a party!

At AIAG, we know that collaboration is more than just a buzzword – it’s a vital component to success in today’s increasingly complex global supply chain. That’s why, both locally and around the globe, our business partners are so important to us. 

With three exciting and content-rich events to choose from, AIAG’s September event schedule is bursting at the seams!

We’ll kick off the month with a collaborative endeavor in sunny Charleston, South Carolina, before returning to Michigan for our annual Quality Summit – and as the month draws to a close, we’ll end on a strong note with the 2018 IMDS conference.

September is a busy month at AIAG! In addition to a full lineup of industry events geared toward Supply Chain, Quality, and Corporate Responsibility professionals, our training calendar is also full, with over a dozen courses still open for registration.

(Senior managers, managers, engineers, and quality and purchasing professionals will also find value in this content, which includes basic introductory information as well as more advanced details.)

This September, AIAG is heading south!
